Chapter 10

As soon as the show started and the announcers were talking about the last weeks show, John's theme music started and everyone cheered. John came out to the stage and did his usual entrance before getting in the ring. John picked up a microphone and waited for the crowd to die down.

"Hello Tampa. Tonight is a really special night here on RAW. I have a wonderful surprise for all of you." John stated as the crowd went wild. "But in order for me to show you the surprise, everyone in the audience must remain super quiet."

"Cena, what are you doing?" Cole asked.

"Well, Michael Cole, I have a very special guest that I would like to bring out but loud, rude and obnoxious people might scare them." John answered as the crowd went completely silent. "First I would like to bring out my parents, John Sr. and Carol Cena."

John's parents came out and made their way into the ring. The crowd still remained silent. Michael Cole went back to his box while Jerry Lawler and JR came into the ring as well to greet everyone.

"Now, the next two people to come out are the most important people in my life other than my parents and brothers." John stated as Brahms Lullaby started playing and Katie holding Lilliana walked down to the ring. "I would like the WWE Universe to meet the loves of my life, Katie and our newborn daughter Lilliana."

The titan tron showed a picture of John, Katie and Lilliana taken the day she came home from the hospital with all the baby's information on the screen. Everyone softly awed at the announcement. Katie placed Lilliana in John's free arm while the camera man zoomed in on John holding his daughter.

After the leaving the ring, John and Katie visited with some of the stars before taking Lilliana home for the night. Katie nursed Lilliana before John took her and put her in bed. Katie couldn't have been any happier than she was the moment their daughter was born.

One year later... May 18, 2013

Katie was standing in the room with Samantha, Stephanie McMahon and Lilliana. Samantha was holding Lilliana while Stephanie helped Katie fix her head piece. Today was hers and John's wedding day and she couldn't wait to marry the man she loves. Soon there was a knock on the door and Samantha opened it.

"Are you all about ready?" Vince asked.

"We'll be out in a minute dad." Stephanie answered.

A few minutes later, Katie emerged from the room with Samantha, Lilliana and Stephanie. Katie had asked Vince months ago if he would walk her down to the aisle to John as she hadn't spoken to her parents in over a year. Vince was honored to walk her down the aisle.

As the wedding started, Samantha carried Lilliana down the aisle followed by Stephanie. Randy and Paul were standing at the alter with John. As soon as the double doors opened, it was time to make her dreams come true. Vince walked Katie down the aisle towards John and Katie just smiled.

"Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man, John Felix Anthony Cena, and this woman, Katie Marie Matthews, in Holy Matrimony. The bond and covenant of marriage was established by God in creation, and our Lord Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. It signifies to us the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church, and Holy Scripture commends it to be honored among all people.

The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God's will, for the procreation of children and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore, marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the purposes for which it was instituted by God.

You ask what is this love we here affirm, and I answer, it is a covenant you make, one with the other, a covenant born of commitment to each others well being and growth and commitment to your relationship itself, allowing it the possibility of change and of growth." The minister stated. "Katie, will you have this man to be your husband; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"
"I will." Katie stated.
"John, will you have this woman to be your wife; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?" The minister asked.
"I will." John answered.
"Will all of you witnessing these promises do all in your power to uphold these two persons in their marriage?" The minister asked the congregation.
"We will." everyone answered.
"You have determined that you would seal your vows today by the exchanging of rings. The rings you give and receive this day are marvelous symbols of endless love. The rings are made of gold, a symbol of purity. May your thoughts towards one another be pure. The ring is an unbroken circle, having no end, so it is emblematic of the enduring and unending love you have for each other.
"Katie, come health, happiness, and prosperity, I will stand with you; come illness, trouble, or poverty, I will stand with you. Take this ring as a sign of my love and commitment." John stated as he placed the ring on her finger.

"John, come health, happiness, and prosperity, I will stand with you; come illness, trouble, or poverty, I will stand with you. Take this ring as a sign of my love and commitment." Katie stated as she placed the ring on his finger.
"John and Katie, you have now affirmed before your families and friends your love and your caring for each other. You have come from different backgrounds. You have walked different paths. You are different individuals. Your love has transcended these differences. In the years before you, may the richness of the traditions that have nurtured you enhance and brighten your lives as you help to create and shape the future.

May the challenges of your life together be met with courage and optimism. May you learn from your failures and grow in your achievements. May life bless you with children, friends, and family in a wide network of mutual support and enjoyment. May you face pain, toil, and trouble with a stout but light heart. May you share with others the radiance of your seasons of joy and pleasure. May you always remember that laughter is the medicine of God." The minister stated as he joined the right hands of John and Katie. "Now that John and Katie have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder. Amen."

John and Katie walked back up the aisle arm in arm as husband and wife. They headed straight to the limo that was waiting to take them to the reception. John's parents drove with Lilliana, Randy and Samantha to the reception. Everyone partied well into the night. Carol and John Sr. left early as they volunteered to watch Lilliana after the reception and while John and Katie were on their honeymoon.
